I'm visiting a couple schools I've been accepted to for the first time (interviews were done over the phone or by email). I know that for interviews, you should generally wear business or business casual, but what's the deal with dressing for visiting weekend once you've been accepted? Is it casual? Is it still business casual?

Accepted: UConn Lehigh Saint Louis University Rejected: UCLA Northwestern (though technically they rejected everyone who applied to my area)

FYI: For anyone who applied, UConn didn't do interviews, I guess

Lehigh University - Interview Day - 2/15

As far as I know, here's a (non-comprehensive) list of colleges that provide funding for some or all of their MA or MS students in psychology: Claremont Graduate University Mount Holyoke College San Jose State University Villanova University William & Mary Boston College Wake Forest Central Connecticut State University Ball State University And today I guess I just learned about Illinois State and University of Nebraska at Omaha as well. Hope this helps!

Accepted off the waitlist to Villanova! Whew! Now just waiting to see what (if any) financial package I receive...

Update: got waitlisted for WFU and W&M, and after inspection of my Claremont letter realized I received a small scholarship but no funding, which barely makes a dent in the $24000 a semester tuition, yikes. Still waiting on BC and Villanova, and I applied to the psychology master's program at University of North Florida as well, which isn't really funded but at least I am eligible for in-state tuition.

I have received an offer from Claremont, a phone interview with Wake Forest, and I'm still waiting to hear from BC, William & Mary, and Villanova. I am also thinking that Villanova's might be later than others considering they have such a late deadline date (March 1)?

Hi, I'm planning on applying to a Master's Program in General Psychology and have 2 possible letters of recommendation from professors but I am struggling to come up with a third. While I'm aware that professors hold more sway over admissions than supervisors, I have a sort-of dilemma on my hands: I was assigned an independent research project my junior year with one professor for a semester, but he was a very busy "superstar" professor who frequently forgot my name and canceled meetings with me. Although I received high marks on the project, we met a total 3 times over the semester. Add that to the fact that it has been 2 years since the project and I took a year off after school, and I have some doubts he remembers who I am and what my project was about. While I doubt he'd refuse to write me an LOR, I have less faith in his ability to write me a good, personalized LOR. On the other hand, I also worked as a research assistant for a year in another professor's laboratory as an undergrad, with a Ph.D candidate as my supervisor. She's very familiar with my particular strengths as a researcher and acknowledged my contributions in her articles published in the Journal of Social and Behavioral Psychology, and has demonstrated a willingness to act as a reference. However, she is still a Ph.D candidate, not a professor, so I am not sure if that would look bad on my grad school application. Any suggestions?
